[. . . ] The following list describes each of these parameters. 1st COM Port When 1st COM Port is set to Auto, the system will automatically set the interrupt and IRQ for that port. Otherwise this option allows you to choose (from a list) the I/O address and IRQ of the 9-pin serial port. 2nd COM Port When 2nd COM Port is set to Auto, the system will automatically set the interrupt and IRQ for that port. Otherwise this option allows you to choose (from a list) the I/O address and IRQ of the 25-pin serial port. Default: Auto. 42 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP LPT Port Sets the parallel port designation. This allows you to specify the parallel port address and IRQ, which otherwise are factory set. LPT Mode Allows you to set the parallel port communication mode to match the capabilities of your parallel port device. Settings: Output Only, Bidirectional or ECP. Diskette Controller Enables or disables the on-board floppy diskette controller. Local Bus IDE Adapter Configures the on-board Local Bus IDE controller, which controls up to four PCI local bus devices. Settings: Disabled, Primary, Secondary, Both. Default: Both. (more settings, next page) 43 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP PCI Devices The PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Devices submenu allows you to enable or disable the integrated SCSI and LAN options. Enable On-board SCSI Enables/disables the built-in SCSI port, if present. On-board Ethernet Enables/disables the on-board AMD Ethernet controller, if present. Default: Disabled. BIOS Enable Bus Master Determines whether the BIOS will enable bus master operation by setting the Bus Master bit in the PCI device configuration space. Normally, the software for the device will enable bus master operation, but some nonconforming software may depend on the BIOS to perform this function. Default: Disabled. Plug & Play O/S Enables/disables peripheral add-on features for computers with Plug & Play operating systems. Default: No. 44 Chapter 3 - Using SETUP Reset Configuration Data Clears system configuration settings. Default: No. Large Disk Access Mode Lets you set your system to expect a large DOS hard disk, or some Other type of hard disk, such as expected by UNIX or Novell Netware. Default: DOS. OS Support for More Than 64MB When enabled, interrupt 15 function 88h only reports 16MB of RAM if MORE than 64MB is installed. This is used by OS/2 and Windows NT to recognize more than 64MB. [. . . ] PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect. PCI is an industry standard for local bus peripheral expansion. A 25pin Input/Output connector usually used for printers. Peripheral - A device (such as, a printer or a modem) connected to a computer that depends on the computer for its operation. [. . . ]
